Ayres Inn Orange - Disneyland, Orange

I loved the breakfast, it was remarkable. We were able to fill up and save money by eating an earyly dinner and skipping lunch altogether. The shuttle service was awesome! The room was great and the staff was courteous and helpful.

Perfect location! Right off the freeway but very quiet. great access. The rooms were nice, updated and clean. Housekeeping was amazing, the beds and pillows were very comfortable. (I am a finicky sleeper too). Right next to places to eat and a block away from the mall and movies/shopping- really fun at night. We went to Disneyland and I recommend taking the hotel shuttle for sure! The first day we tried parking at the park and it took way longer plus we had to pay. The shuttle times were very flexible and they were always on time to leave and pick up. The driver even picked up our stroller and brought it along no problem. Pool and hottub was fun and nice! The breakfast sealed the deal though. so yummy and great variety! Delicious! Thanks Ayres see you in a few years!

I was a little nervous about booking at a hotel less than 4 stars. However, I realized we were not going to spend much time in the room so why spend a arm and a leg on a hotel. I was greatly impressed with the cleaniness and elegance of Ayres Inn. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We had a problem with our AC leaking the first night but they took care of it immediately. There was not a lot of luxurious ammendies such as fancy weight rooms or fine dining. However, it was great for a family visiting Disneyland. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

We have used this Inn several years now for our annual family Disney trips. Although the price and location are a plus it does NOT have a Family friendly environment any more. On our last two stays 2007 and 2008 the majority of guests seemed to be loud, inconsiderate, and rowdy young men or couples more interested in partying, drinking, hanging out in the parking lot, yelling in the hallways and rooms till 3AM than family activities or going to Disney. The breakfast experience also was very unpleasant, with this same loud and rowdy crowd and non-hygienic conduct at the buffet line; taking food and putting it back etc. not a place I want my family to eat at. Overall not a place we want to spend a family vacation at anymore. The place attracts the wrong crowd. Next trip we will pay the $30 - $50 more and get a good night sleep, feel safe and enjoy the Disney experience at the Double Tree across the street.

Our home is in Scotland and we have just got back after 20 days in the Ayres Inn. We cannot praise it enough, our Room was spacious and had a great view of the Crystal Cathedral ! It was always immaculate and comfortable, everything worked ! The outstanding feature was the the courtesy and friendliness of the Staff, ranging from the General Manager to the guys who cleared the breakfast tables. The reception and Customer service guys were always courteous and helpful and a pleasure to talk to. Whilst it was not the Ritz, neither were the prices and we felt we had excellent value.

I love the People who worked here. Very helpful and talkitive, one of the employees named Pam made new friends with us. There was Wendy's across the street and the pool was in a perfect sun spot! I met atleast 10 new frineds and people, and ran into them a few timea at disneyland, Plus the shuttle there was free! Great Breakfast! Nice Workout room and Vending machine, the area is ok by the freeway but has a great veiw of Anaheim and Orange!

Upon arriving at the hotel at 11:30 pm - I had to wake the front desk clerk. He was very put out to check us in. When I got to the room I needed to call the front desk for something and he wouldn't answer. The morning front desk clerk named Christopher was very rude to us, and we noticed to other guests as well. He stated to us, "Large families drive me crazy." We have four children and spent a lot of money to stay at this motel. We needed extra towels because they only give you two. When I sent my 15 year old son down to get some extra towels Christopher asked him what they were for. (Duh.) He didn't treat my son with much respect. The front desk clerks were ALWAYS on the phone or too busy to help with anything. The FREE shuttle is very poor. One day-Tuesday- they had a large one that seated 20. Disneyland isn't busy on Tuesdays and neither was the motel, however, it was full. You have to schedule the shuttle the night before and it only runs every half hour from 8-11 in the morning. If it is full, you are out of luck. To return you have to shcedule one of two times. Disneyland closed at 8 pm and they were there to pick you up at 8:15 or 8:45. We didn't have the time to spend at Downtown Disney after the park closed, and were very rushed to catch the shuttle. On Wednesday thru Friday the other days we were there, the shuttle was a small passenger van that seated 9 at the most. This is not acceptable for this large of a motel where most of the guests were going to Disneyland. Disneyland was busier these days. Agian, the front desk was terrible at accomodating us. The shuttle bus drivers were rude to us. We were running a few minutes late when we recieved a phone call from the front desk from Christopher again, He rudely said, "If your family is not in the lobby in 2 minutes, they will be left." When we arrived - we were the only ones on the shuttle - nobody was waiting. We were 7 minutes late. The next morning they were 15 minutes late picking us up. The breakfast was not a "cook to order" as stated. It was a buffet and was only from 7-9 on weekdays. It was a good breakfast - same thing everyday and not enough seating. The rooms are remodeled and are clean, however there is NO Ventilation. They are very stuffy and very small. Internet service is $8 a day and was down 2 days we were there. The hot tub was broke and the pool was very dirty and cold. There are a lot of choices in Anaheim and if you are traveling with a family, this probably isn't where I would recommend.

ironing board was broken. a/c/ was leaking. carpets were moldy. the rooms are old and rundown. the hotel was right next to a highway. very noisy and loud. it had bad service. i wouldn't stay here!

Advantages of this hotel - Great Breakfast includes waffles with fresh fruit topping, eggs, hashbrowns, pastries, bagels, juices, coffee. Rooms are very pretty, they have dark wood furniture that makes the rooms look very classy Farther from Disney so quiter, area not as busy Free Shuttle Disadvantages - Farther from Disney Shuttle is a schedule one and you must make reservations at the front desk NO rollaway beds

I STAYED AT THE AYRES INN FOR NINE DAYS WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS AT UCI. THIS WAS A VERY DIFFICULT TIME, BUT EVERY EMPLOYEE OF THE INN, INCLUDING THE HUSBAND AND WIFE WHO RAN THE RESTURANT WERE VERY CARING AND CONCERNED ABOUT HOW MY HUSBAND AND MYSELF WERE DOING EACH DAY. TWO LITTLE CHILDREN THAT WERE STAYING THERE AND RODE THE SHUTTLE WITH ME EVEN ASKED THE SHUTTLE DRIVER THE NEXT DAY 'HOW IS THE LADY WHO'S HUSBAND IS IN THE HOSPITAL? AT A TIME WHEN I FELT SO ALONE, THEY MADE ME FEEL SAFE AND SPECIAL. I HAVE MADE RESERVATIONS AGAIN FOR 6 NIGHTS WHILE MY HUSBAND HAS ANOTHER OPERATION, AND KNOW THAT UNDER VERY DIFFICULT CERCUMSTANCES, EVERYONE THERE WILL CARE.
